BOSS 429 from a 429" Stroker WINDSOR??? Project MIXED UP BOSS

As I finish up the assembly on Project MIXED UP BOSS.. This will be the last video on it till we do the Engine Dyno Video.( Dyno day should be soon I will let you know on the community page when we have it locked in) I'm really excited to see all of the fruits of our labor come together and make some power!
For new viewers I have made a whole playlist of this build... I'm using Greg Brown of Hammerhead Performance Engines BOSS "Hemi" 429 style heads designed for a small block Ford on a FRPP BOSS 351 Block, Scat 4340 forged crank, Scat H beam Rod, Diamond Pistons, 11 to 1 compression ratio, Howards Solid roller cam 259/263 @ .050" .674/.705 lift on a 108 LSA, Howards/ Pacaloy springs, Manley Titanium Retainers/Locks I'm adapting a Cleveland Weiand Hi-Ram to run on this Windsor package to make for a dry intake manifold and to have a Nostalgic look topped off with my two worked over Holley 660 Center Squirter carbs! Who knows you may see it with a set of 1050 Dominators on top????
The goals for MIXED UP BOSS are:
1) Use out of the box parts
2) To use Pump gas
3) Make 750hp
4) Drive it everywhere/ Race it Anywhere..

I learned to do caulking that way for homes. Excessive yes, but we also got contracts for multi million dollar showcase homes so that’s what it takes to be the best! Love this guys work! Much respect

[@shakeydavesr]

Regarding multi-million dollar homes, it’s a cost/ corner cutting technique. We call them "finger painters". Whereas most commercial grade silicone and urethane sealants that is a big no-no, will void warranties. But in this application, using the tape then some cleaning/ touch-up is just fine. The tape method is cleanest and usually (if done correctly) leaves the cleaners edge.

I would still have looked under base plate through the access plate opening to make sure their were no big gobs to potentially fall off and clog an oil drain/ pickup etc. Though I’m sure that the cam you’ve chosen will probably idle so smooth that you’ll be able to stand a quarter on its edge and it won’t fall over, (a roll of quarters so that is,,,lol).

Just watching this again for the third time, and for the life of me it looks like that head gasket is on backwards..... small coolant holes in the rear and large hole in front.

@@UnityMotorSportsGarage Cool, so I’m not going crazy. What kinda HP do you estimate that thing will make? I saw the hot rod article on the 416 LS version, made really good power for what it was but I don’t think that mild build really took advantage of those heads, a good set of LS heads will make the same numbers, I found another HR write up on an essentially identical short block, same cubes, nearly identical cam and CR, and it made almost exactly the same numbers. Not putting the hammer heads down, just think at the 650hp level they are not being fully taken advantage of. The Windsor 427 that made close to 1000hp, now that was making good use of all that flow. Can’t wait to see your dyno numbers.

Since I'm using the heads out of the box and a "somewhat" mild solid roller... I'm hoping for 750hp on pump gas..

[@joey120373]

@@UnityMotorSportsGarage Awesome, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for 776 HP….

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

It would be nice! I'm actually more concerned with torque output since it is going into a 4000 lb truck .. Hopefully I can get some weight out of it but Either way it's going to be fun! Andy

What year did they start making a windsor that's the 429 and would that be a steel block or cast-iron block and how would I tell thank you for your feedback

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Never... This is all aftermarket, using a 4.130" bore and 4" stroke you end up at the magic number... On the block it is a Diesel grade Cast iron 41,000 psi tensile strength according to Ford.. this block can make max of 460" Thanks for Watching Andy

[@deandee8082]

are the piston tops and top end combustion chambers ceramic coated?

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Dean on this phase one build... Everything is out of the box.. Down the Road David Vizard and myself are going to port the heads and put some Compression in it and see how far we can take this combo... DV wants to see 4 digit power NA... So we shall see what the future holds... Thanks for Watching Andy

Andy, did you say those rockers were made by T&D? I’ve got T&D rockers on my 513. Good stuff!

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Cj, this setup is made by Jesel.. I love T&D rockers too, I have had great success with both..

[@damianbrennan2258]

I love Windsor engines can u tell me is the engine all after market

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Yes Damian, it is all aftermarket. You can see a breakdown of the parts in the video description. Thanks for Watching, Andy

Dyno 🤔🙂

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Yes... We will be thrashing it on the Engine Dyno before it goes into CASPER! Andy

[@bobsmith1101]

Why the mismatch at the front right side plate to block?

[@ScottKenny1978]

Man, those heads are huge! What's the bore and stroke you're using?

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Scott, yes they are! You get the magic 429" by having a 4.130" bore and a 4" stroke! Thanks for Watching Andy

[@ScottKenny1978]

@@UnityMotorSportsGarage thanks, Andy! I'm really looking forward to seeing it run in Casper. Might have to 'borrow' Mazda's old advertising jingle for Casper: zoom-zoom! 😂
